Healthy and Unhealthy Occupations.

The English registrar general has made a
comparison between the healthy and un-
healthy occupations. Assuming the normal
average death rate of the community as the
unit of comparison, and calling it LOCO, par
ticular occupations may be regarded as
healthy or unhealthy according as the death
rates among those pursuing them fall above
or below that figure. The most healthy oc-
cupation appears to be that Of ministers of
religion. whose rate is SO. Next are garden
ers and nurserymen, 500; farmers and gra-
ziers, 63l agricultural laborers, 76l; school
masters, 7l9; and grocers, coal merchants,
paper, lace and hosiery manufacturers,
wheelwrights, ship builders and coal miners,
with all OF whom the average death rate is
under 775. The most unhealthy occupations
are the trades connected with the liquor traf-
fic and hotel service, with which the death rate
is 2. .205: following these are general laborers
In London, 2,030; costermongers, bankers and
street sellers, 1879; innkeepers, etc, 1,521
and brewers, 1881 After the trades con-
nected with alcohol, the highest rates are
furnished by occupations that involve the
breathing of dust-other than coal dust-and
exposure to lead poisoning. The death rate
among butchers is also high, LILO.

Crate bar bearers viii prove more service

that whatever falls at the end may not lodge

A New Engine,

The steam engine that runs the electric
light system at the Portland Stone Ware
Works is the invention of Mr.. John A. Lid
back, the machinist, of this city, and is the
first one of the kind that has been put into
operation here. 1t is built on an entirely
new principle, has no piston rod and is sur
prisingly compact The engine at the pot
terry sits in one corner of the room and no
one, at first sight would take it for an en-
CINE. 1t occupies space 16 by 10 inches
and is only IS inches in height. Every prac-
tical engineer will be surprised to learn that
this small machine has a capacity of ten
horse power and does with ease the ordinary
work of ten horse power engine of the old
pattern. 1t makes $50 or 400 revolutions
minute. The cost of constructing the new
engine is estimated by Mr.. Lidback to be one :
third less than that of an ordinary horizontal
or upright engine. Many practical engineers,
who at first were positive that the invention
would be failure are now thoroughly con-
vinced Of its superior merits. The firms
who have adopted the engine, in its new and
untried state, Messrs. Bagnall & Loud and
the Portland Stone Ware Company, feel
themselves amply repaid by its perfect work.
